Sorry, I have no in-depth knowledge, but it does MORE than just some registry entries (that can be batched), in 2019 reboot is also required, so some bits need to be changed before system loads
I found a way to reset KIS with a batch file... I used this code, with KIS 2019: Code: if EXIST "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64" ( SET WOW6432=\Wow6432Node ) else ( SET WOW6432= ) DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP19.0.0\Data\stor_AVP.bin" >nul 2>nul DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP19.0.0\Data\stor_kis.bin" >nul 2>nul <nul (set/p z=) >"C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP19.0.0\Data\stor_AVP.bin" <nul (set/p z=) >"C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP19.0.0\Data\stor_kis.bin" REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\LicStrg /f REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\SPC\Certificates /f RD /S /Q "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP19.0.0\Report" >nul 2>nul REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP19.0.0\Data\LicCache /f REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP19.0.0\Data\LicensingActivationErrorStorageLogic /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP19.0.0\settings /v Ins_InitMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\AVP19.0.0 /v LastLicenseNotificationTime /t REG_SZ /d "1800000000" /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP19.0.0\settings /v EnableSelfProtection /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f shutdown /r /t 1 and this one, with KIS 2020: Code: if EXIST "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64" ( SET WOW6432=\Wow6432Node ) else ( SET WOW6432= ) DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\stor_AVP.bin" >nul 2>nul DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\stor_kis.bin" >nul 2>nul DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\cat_engine*" >nul 2>nul DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\certdb_*.idx" >nul 2>nul <nul (set/p z=) >"C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\stor_AVP.bin" <nul (set/p z=) >"C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\stor_kis.bin" REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\LicStrg /f REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\SPC\Certificates /f RD /S /Q "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Report" >nul 2>nul REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\Data\LicCache /f REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\Data\LicensingActivationErrorStorageLogic /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\environment /v ShowActivateTrialOption /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\settings /v Ins_InitMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0 /v LastLicenseNotificationTime /t REG_SZ /d "1800000000" /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\settings /v EnableSelfProtection /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f shutdown /r /t 1 Reboot is mandatory!
So I gave it a go on KAV 2019. Strangely, it did work indeed! Had to change just one line Code: DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP19.0.0\Data\stor_AVP.bin" >nul 2>nul instead of stor_kis.bin And I do prefer the full path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\
I'm happy it's working on KAV too. I was wrong when I copied the code, I forgot this part: Code: if EXIST "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64" ( SET WOW6432=\Wow6432Node ) else ( SET WOW6432= ) I didn't use the full path, to maintain the code compatible with both 32 and 64 bit operating system. I modified original post, so others can copy directly a working code for KIS.
I can confirm this works I gave it a shot on a Win 10x64 1909 VM, it required Safe Mode. It will reset the trial, and you can input one of those 90 days generic trial keys on the web. Used to buy Kaspersky for years, from the days the firewall was separate, but these days Defender is doing a somewhat similar job, with a worse UI but better virtualization features for those who need them. All in all, very good find!
It does not require Safe Mode (unless you have Self-protection enabled and not un-ticked before the run). It does require a reboot
hi I don't want to use these tools.( Kaspersky_Tweak_Assistant_v20.3.26.0_Beta_by_Bambang AND RePack_KRT_CLUB_3.1.0.29_ATB_En_Final_v4) How do I back up my KIS 2020 license without the need for any tools? Which KEYs should I back up in the registry? please help me king regurds
Let's make an example, I have 2 days left on my trial license, I use your script and when I restart I still have the old license with the very same 2 days left. Now when I use KRT Club (I'd rather not) after the restart my old one just disappears and I get to add another brand new 30 days license. Your script doesn't work as it doesn't change anything for me and it doesn't renew or replace my expiring trial, that's what I meant.
If you do it on KAV (not KIS), the in the script replace refernces to kis with kav It also works on KAV 2020
Sorry for the delay, I disable the autoprotection, close KIS completely and then run the script as administrator. Inside my batch file there's this: Code: if EXIST "%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64" ( SET WOW6432=\Wow6432Node ) else ( SET WOW6432= ) DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\stor_AVP.bin" >nul 2>nul DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\stor_kis.bin" >nul 2>nul DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\cat_engine*" >nul 2>nul DEL /F "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\certdb_*.idx" >nul 2>nul <nul (set/p z=) >"C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\stor_AVP.bin" <nul (set/p z=) >"C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Data\stor_kis.bin" REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\LicStrg /f REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\SPC\Certificates /f RD /S /Q "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP20.0\Report" >nul 2>nul REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\Data\LicCache /f REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\Data\LicensingActivationErrorStorageLogic /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\environment /v ShowActivateTrialOption /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\settings /v Ins_InitMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0 /v LastLicenseNotificationTime /t REG_SZ /d "1800000000" /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE%WOW6432%\KasperskyLab\AVP20.0\settings /v EnableSelfProtection /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f shutdown /r /t 1
